Prescott Plans To Expose McCloskey’s Mistakes

Breidis Prescott has promised to expose all Paul McCloskey’s mistakes when they clash in Saturday’s WBA light-welterweight eliminator at the Odyssey Arena.

Prescott, who famously bombed out Amir Khan back in September 2008, says he is not the same fighter that lost to Kevin Mitchell when he last visited the UK and insists he will expose the flaws in McCloskey.

Speaking to Sky Sports Prescott said: "I have seen McCloskey and he makes a lot of mistakes but I don’t like to watch a lot, I’ll worry about him when I get in the ring.

"I will expose all his mistakes, no problem. We’ve had a great training camp, we’ve worked very well on things, technical things, and I just think I’m a much better fighter than him.

"Whenever I get in the ring I want to let it all go, let my hands go and give my best.

Talking about the Khan fight Prescott added: "When I went into the ring that night against Khan, I went in with the mentality to take Amir Khan’s head off and I hit him with the right punch and got him out of there.

"I thought I would break him down and then take him out but obviously he doesn’t take that good a punch. Khan made the mistake of fighting with me and if McCloskey makes the same mistake I will be putting him to sleep too."
